The inspiration behind the book:
Brooklyn: "The inspiration behind Sole Sister was driven by fans of The Boots My Mother Gave Me. I never intended to write a sequel to 'Boots.' I figured it would be a stand-alone forever. But with encouragement from fans, I decided to continue the series from Kat's POV. I think a lot of readers identify very well with Kat, maybe even more with her than with Harley. And, as a writer, it was great to play with Kat's character development. To see her transform from that lost, rebellious teen/young adult into a conscientious woman making better choices for herself was fulfilling for me."
Synopsis:
The second book in The Boots My Mother Gave Me series, Sole
Sister picks up several years later, continuing the story of Harley
LeBeau and her rebellious sister Katrina ‘Kat’ LeBeau.
Relocating to Nashville to be closer to Harley and Miah, Kat
aspires to launch her Sole Sister fashion line. A gutsy and
impromptu plan suddenly lands her on the cover of The Ville Spill—the
local celebrity gossip rag—alongside country music’s latest heartthrob,
giving Sole Sister the push it needs. But Kat quickly learns
that not all press is good press.
Years removed from an abusive childhood and teenage pregnancy, the
past that Kat never talks about continues to seep into her life and
relationships. Still struggling with the images of finding her father after his
suicide, Kat forges ahead, vowing to avoid past mistakes. To focus on her career
and responsibilities as a single mother, she swears off the disappointments of
love. The first man she ever loved, her father, broke her heart. The first boy
she ever fell in love with, her daughter’s father, broke her heart.
What Kat didn’t plan on was Nashville SWAT Officer Connor Reese.
She and Connor have more pulling them together than keeping them apart. Kat
finds herself in familiar territory when her plan to steer clear of heartache
is derailed after spending a night in his arms. Will facing her past help to
secure her future? Will Connor offer her a second chance at life and love? Or
will her heart break yet again?
Staying true to its predecessor, Sole Sister explores
the dynamics of strength in sisterhood, the ongoing conflict and unconditional
love between mother and daughter, and the courage to become more than one’s
past.
